Hey... that`s a luxury problem to be solved later :) Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Udo on February 17, 2010, 12:28:25 pm vaccum pump (delete now)... I think this was a good idea . Udo Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Ghost on February 17, 2010, 22:03:00 pm Hi Udo
regards to Karin and yes it's was a very good idea... Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Elnef on February 18, 2010, 06:22:39 am Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Udo on February 18, 2010, 07:24:55 am I my opinion the pump pulls the oil out of the engine and into the breather box . I tried to find a mistake but could not find it.
I think there is something wrong , and the engine did not make the right power. But it looks like they hopefully found something at igmition and turbo... Udo Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: richie on February 18, 2010, 10:58:53 am vaccum pump (delete now)... I think this was a good idea . Udo I dont agree,and if the engine was set up for a vacuum pump[light tension rings] the surely it will cause more harm removing it unless you change soem things inside as well?. There are obviously other problems causing the issues, car looks good though :) Good luck getting it to run well and fast :) cheers richie,uk Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Ghost on February 18, 2010, 21:40:42 pm the problem I have with the vaccuum is when the engine take rpm, oil goes out through the pump roll, the engines seems to stop and the belt breaks.
Since I removed it the engine seems better. I hope you understand what I wrote :-\… Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Justin R on February 19, 2010, 13:58:50 pm Lovely looking car, I had it as my desktop image for a while, love the stance.

Post by: The Burnout King on February 27, 2010, 09:01:23 am from what i was told, if your pump was sucking oil its becuase the motor wasnt sealed up very well... so it must have had a leak somewhere....
And like Richie said... If the motor was setup for it, not having it now you will need to adjust for it... Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Ghost on February 27, 2010, 12:00:10 pm after discuss with Marty I delete it because he don't have a solution… Shawn don't understand to, he never have this problem…
but one day, I use the engine with the vacuum… Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Udo on February 27, 2010, 12:30:11 pm May be a leak down test will tell you more ?
Udo Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Ghost on February 27, 2010, 13:09:19 pm the only leak I see is on the turbo, just little leak…
Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: richie on February 27, 2010, 16:22:30 pm the only leak I see is on the turbo, just little leak… you should only see a leak when running without the vacuum pump,when its fitted it will create enough vacuum to stop any oil escaping and collect it into the breather boxcheers richie Title: Re: Who owns the 'Marmalade' race car ? Post by: Udo on February 28, 2010, 09:06:12 am the only leak I see is on the turbo, just little leak… I mean leak down test to the head and cylinder . Airpressure into the spark plug hole ...
